Support Groups
Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
See what I am doin for my Fibro, It is the same for my Chronic Fatigue.
Close Fibromyalgia
Not sure when my fibro started. If I look back I think it started 15 years ago. I was diagnosed 9 years ago. I am co- owner of a fibro research support site on yahoo. I help many people on their journey with this illness. I have a committment to not end up bedridden or in a wheelchair. I am working with a Naturopathic doctor, on a immune compromised diet, massage, rest, knowing limits, DBT, keep very informed, work with a Kinesoligist, a holistic doctor and a chiropractor.
Treatments
- Acupuncture Considering
- Have to go to the money tree. This disease drains your wallet.
- Cymbalta Not Working
- made me too sleepy and did not help with anxiety
- Heat Working / Worked
- Cannot live without this. I have the kind the massage therapist uses. I use it almost every night.
- Neurontin Working / Worked
- This caused weight gain and memory loss. Did help with pain.
- Vitamin B12 Working / Worked
- I am actually anemic but not from lack of iron. From B vitamins. So I take the B's
Open Self-Injury
Treatments
- DailyStrength Working / Worked
- Worked to a point but I found you had to be very careful. If you were in a vunerable place there were plenty of other people on the site that were waiting to latch on to you and drag you down with them. You had to be aware and careful. You could use the site to stay in a dark place.
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- Part of DBT
- Psychotherapy Not Working
- I think traditional Psychotherapy is useless.
- Talking Working / Worked
- Communication is essential as a part of your recovery. The worst thing is to stay inside your head.
Open Migraine Headaches
Migraines since I was young. Sometimes they last days. Seems my 15 year old daughter is developing them as well.
Treatments
- Acupuncture Considering
- As I said before. With all the people I see for my fibro I need a money tree,.
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Red wine gives me a migraine EXCEPT the organics. I also have taken all chemicals out of my house, diet and life. I use all natural everything. Make my own creams and use essential oils.
- Caffeine Not Working
- Doesn't help or start them. Coffee does not agree with me anyway.
- Fioricet Not Working
- Had this years ago but it did not help and does not agree with me
- Fiorinol Not Working
- Never worked
- Imitrex Somewhat Helpful
- Current med. Terrible side effects. will make the headache bearable but there is no driving or brain surgery happening.
- Magnesium Too Soon to Tell
- Trying it now
- Maxalt Working / Worked
- Worked well but my insurance won't cover it anymore
- Naproxen Somewhat Helpful
- But hurts me stomach!!!!
- Topamax Somewhat Helpful
- Milder side affects to Immitrex
- Zomig Not Working
- Horrible!
